COOPERATIVES
I he speaking engagements of officers of the North Pacific
Grain Growers in this county bring to the mind a question, “Why
do producers form cooperative organizations?”
Within the n^
of a majority bf Sherman county farmers
two cooperative organizations have been formed with branches in
♦k.«

this county. Both were started because it was felt that the pro-
ducers of wheat were not.getting as great a proportion of the, re-
tail price of their product as they should have- The cooperatives
were formed to remedy this condition.
It is pecular that the times in the history of the northwest
when wheat brought as great a price here as in Chicago have
- been during the timeswhen a cooperative organization was doing
business here.
. »
Some of the ills that cooperatives were formed to cure are the
loss of oyer weight on stored wheat, excessive profits of grain
-
deaU^^certain warehouse conditions not favorable to the
grower. The farmer feels in joining a cooperative that he has a
better chance to reap the profit on his crop until sold to the
miller than he has under the old competitive system.
1 he success of the cooperative depends upon their convincing
the grower of wheat that these results have been obtained.

OUR NEW MACHINE

Sometime in the small hours of Monday morning a Linotype
machine was placed in the office of the Journal and the time since
then has been spent setting it up and adjusting it for the work it
is supposed to perform. Unfortunately this job was not com­
pleted in time for any machine set type to appear in this issue
and because a part of the force was busy, this weeks paper may
be somewhat abbreviated in some respects For which we hum-
bly ask pardon,
This machine was purchased because we feel that the county
deserves and wants a better paper than can be published by the
methods of another generation. We hope that our support will
be such that this investment will prove a good one from a finan-

The old Puritan admonitan against lying m bed as aptly
stated by Benjamin Franklin has a hard time surviving in these
wintry mornings The Puritans believed any habit or practice
inherently sinful that softened the human clay; and anything
that was enjoyable to normal men and women was frowned upon
by that sect as at least bordering upon sin. ‘
Therefore they instructed their children through various
teachings and an aphorism that has become famous that “early
to bed and early to rise makes men healthy, wealthy and wise,”
If such be true now as it was believed to be true then, we fear
for the future su^N^s of the larger part of our citizenry. For it

is a most common sight to find the streets deserted at an hour
that cannot be called early by even the most dilatory and stores
and offices are locked against the early shopper until the sun has
warmed the earth for several hours.
Nor do we plead exemption from this class that uses the
fragrant morning hours for a little added slumber. We seem to
lack the Puritan fortitude that would make us rise in the chill

* In the long evening part of the year it seems to be such a
good trade to dicker an hour or so of lonesome and frosty morn­
ing for a like amount of night’s entertainment or, if one has no
entertainment at hand the quiet hours of winter nights may well
be used for work or reading.
"
Nevertheless, a certain amount of pride is always incorpor­
ated in the stated “I got up at five o’clock this morning.” The
speaker always assumes for the moment a tone and appearance
of superiority. The quietness of the late riser makes him seem
to admit that a certain amount of extra vigor and ambition is in
the one who can force his unwilling self from under the covers
into the darkness and chill of mid winter morning.
Thus our puritan complex remains with us still even though
it is more honored in the breach than the observance
